On entering the property through a covered portico with lighting, the feature stained glass door is a welcoming entry to the home that opens to the classic Victorian hallway, and hardwood flooring runs throughout the ground floor. The generously sized sitting room is flooded with natural light from the south-facing bay window and offers a versatile space with built-in storage and shelving with a feature Chesneys limestone fireplace and gas stove.
To the rear of the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining room, which is the real heart of the home and the ideal hosting space. The kitchen is a bespoke, solid wood Harvey Jones kitchen with a large central island, topped with a stunning Arabescato Vagli marble work surface. The focal point of the space is the triple-oven, gas-fired AGA, and other integrated appliances include a secondary Miele electric oven, Neff halogen hob, Miele dishwasher, Fisher Paykel fridge-freezer, a wine fridge, and a Quooker hot tap. The dining space seamlessly connects to the garden with two sets of hardwood bi-folding doors that open to the apex of the room, and a large lantern skylight above allows natural light to fill the space. This space can double as an additional living area for the family to gather and relax. Offset to the side of the kitchen is a guest cloakroom and a door for rear access.
The original Victorian staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor, where the bedroom accommodation is found. The principal bedroom is spacious, bright, and airy, with bespoke fitted wardrobes, and looks towards the North Downs from the south-facing window, from which the elevated position can be enjoyed. Adjacent to the principal bedroom is the luxurious bathroom. Recently remodelled, the walk-in shower is a particular feature alongside the large bathtub. To the rear of the first floor is a second bedroom with two generous fitted wardrobes. There are double doors, a Juliette balcony, and two Velux windows that make the most of the abundant light.
The second floor is illuminated by a roof-mounted light tube. This floor houses a third double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and access to eaves storage. The bathroom on this floor has a beautiful stained-glass door and includes a rolltop bath.
From the ground floor hallway, a staircase leads down to a lower ground floor, which offers an excellent, multi-functional space with natural light from the south-facing lightwell, currently used as a study and an occasional guest bedroom. There is also a functional utility room on this floor, with a Miele washing machine, a separate tumble dryer, and a sink area.
Set back from the road and approached through a landscaped front garden, the house has a pretty aspect from the street and a real curb appeal. Clad in climbing shrubs and carpet roses, the house and broader front garden give endless spring/summer colour and scent.
The rear garden is offset to the west and is accessed from the kitchen and has exterior lighting, an irrigation system and a water feature. It has been professionally landscaped and planted with various plantings that flow through the seasons for optimal colour and scent throughout the year. Enclosed by wisteria and jasmine-clad boundaries, the specimen trees give structure and privacy. The rear terrace adjoins the dining space and is a sociable space to gather in the warmer months to enjoy sunset views. To the end of the garden is a large shed with power and lighting, and beyond the rear gate is a large driveway area for up to four vehicles, of which an oak-framed carport provides cover for two cars and a secondary shed. The carport area is accessed from the shared private lane off Semaphore Road.
